Shah Rukh Khan to bid temporary goodbye to Mannat? Here’s all you need to know

New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his family are set to shift from their iconic sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, to a luxury apartment in Pali Hill, Bandra. According to sources quoted by Hindustan Times, the Jawan actor has leased four floors in a high-end residential building developed by film producer Vashu Bhagnani.

This temporary move is prompted by extensive renovation and extension work at Mannat, which is expected to take around two years.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat

Mannat, a Grade III heritage structure, is one of Mumbai’s most famous landmarks. Hundreds of fans gather outside its gates daily hopefully catching a glimpse of the superstar. However, starting in May, visitors will instead witness construction work as renovations get underway at the Mannat annexe.

For the duration of the renovations, Shah Rukh Khan, along with his wife Gauri Khan and their children, will reside in a luxury apartment in Pali Hill. Last week, SRK’s company, Red Chillies Entertainment signed a leave and license agreement with Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshika Deshmukh, who co-own the high-end Puja Casa property.

All about Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s new temporary home

Each of the four leased floors has a separate flat, offering ample space for the star’s security and staff, though not as expansive as Mannat. Sources reveal that Shah Rukh Khan will be paying a monthly rent of Rs 24 lakh for the four floors.

As reported earlier, Gauri Khan had sought approval from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) in November last year to add two additional floors to the Mannat annexe. Many prominent realtors, industrialists, and cricketers with properties in Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) areas have leveraged the 2019 amendments to Floor Space Index (FSI) rules under the Development Control and Promotion Regulation (DCPR) to expand their residences. Despite inquiries, neither Jackky Bhagnani nor Shah Rukh Khan’s manager, Pooja Dadlani, has responded to requests for comments regarding the move and renovation plans.
